And now we enter the most important stretch of the season…

[Einstein]

Bills play the Patriots, Jets and Dolphins over the next 3 weeks. The most crucial stretch of the season. Going 3-0 will guarantee at least a 1 game lead over the Dolphins, and at least a 2 game lead over the Jets and Patriots… with only 3 weeks remaining in the season.

 

The Dolphins play the 49ers and Chargers before us, so there is a real possibility that it’s a 2 game lead for all AFC East opponents, if the Bills find a way to win the next 3.

 

May this be the game that brings the team together, and Go Bills as we go 3-0 and take a commanding lead into the final weeks of the season.

With all the injuries and recent poor coaching & play, 3-0 sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

Injuries can hopefully heal, poor coaching?.....these guys are hammer heads. I'm not seeing a turn over a new leaf situation at all.

I think we’ll be getting Edmunds, Rousseau and Morse back next week against the Patriots.

 

We should be fairly healthy, outside of Von (question mark).

[dakrider]

I think Bills should handle Patriots.  Defense just has to step up and offense can't commit turnovers.

Why do you think Rousseau or Morse are back? They likely had high ankle sprains and are probably out several more weeks. Now Dawkins has an ankle too.

On the flip, we just won 2 straight road games with half of our backups playing.

I don't see this as a game that "brings us together" nor do I think that this team needed that.

 

I do think certain things are broken right now, and it didn't look like they were fixed today.

 

The old Bills from earlier this year win by 20.

 

If we don't play substantially better/smarter/more focused, we won't win these next games.

 

That's when push will come to shove.  Even NE has a  great D and should always be respected.

They were both big wins in that regard!  The most important thing with both games was to find a way to win, and we did.

 

But it's not the complete job.  We have more work to do!

We’re also playing our worst stretch of football the past month.

 NE offense isn’t some world beater, but their defense has put on some absolute clinics this year. 
 

Hard to think this will be the game where we play clean and don’t turn it over, but it would be huge if we can.

I hadn’t heard Morse had a high ankle sprain. That’s news to me. He finished the game.

He was in a walking boot immediately after the game and didn't practice all week. Its total speculation on my part but seems like longer than a 1 week injury. Maybe with 10 more days until next game its possible.

Im suprised we have the record we do with all the injuries we have dealt with since week 3.  Its unbelievable. Undefeated right now if our injury situation was just normal

Don't put the Bears in the easy W column.

“If we don’t play better than this we won’t win these next three games” or some variation of this after every win, until the Bills lose and they are proven correct 

 

Funny

We needs to play a whole lot better. We haven’t been playing good football. We could easily go 1-2 or 0-3.

If they walk in there without both Morse and Dawkins, Belichik might hold them under 7 TDs this time.

Id sure love a re run of last year's patriots playoff game but this offensive coordinator is very predictable and throw that in with the injuries and lack of consistency, it could be tough sledding

Better be careful...we can bash players all we want but you bash the coaching some of the mods on here will put you in timeout....happened to me today in the 2nd half of the GameDay thread

I'm still mad our coaches think we should save timeouts to end the half....as if they carry over to the next half 😆......my 15 yr old on madden has better clock management and awareness than our coaches do sometimes

[Dr.Sack]

Patriots gonna get beat. We win that game we looking good. 

[Joe Ferguson]

I'll be the biggest Rams, Bengals and Broncos fan the next three weeks. I'm still hoping for the number #1 seed!

[The Jokeman]

One game at a time, just beat the Patriots is step 1.

So it is a case of "the Bills will only lose if they beat themselves", which is repeated often here, and is a ridiculous statement.

Well sure, but unlikely both of those things happen. Allen will be under constant pressure. The D will still be an infirmary ward. Patriots should be favored.

What value do people think it brings to fellow boards memebers to post things like this?

 

It's the NFL, we could lose out and finish 8-9. I's a realist!

Bills are favored by 5.5, kind of surprising on the road but no way the Pats would be favored in this game.  They have a lot more to prove than the Bills do. 
Allen will be under pressure but he can usually handle that. Pats seemed to do well against the run so I don't suspect Bills to get much there, that may be the biggest problem.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

If only we could get Edmunds back...

[Joe Ferguson]

The Bills were bored, lazy, disinterested and lethargic against dog turd teams like the Browns and Lions. That's why they barely escaped with two wins. Watch them be pumped and jacked against the next 3 divisional teams because they know how important this is in terms of getting the divisional title and the #1 seed.
